Out-of-State Conviction
Convictions occurring outside North Carolina may result in your license being suspended or revoked just as if the

violations occurred in this state.
Failure to Appear and/or to Pay a Fine

Your driving privilege will be revoked when the DMV receives notification from the court that you have failed to appear in
court or to pay fines for a citation you received in North Carolina or another state. In the case of failure to appear and/or

to pay a fine, your driving privileges remain revoked until the DMV receives notice that you have complied with the
citation. Complying with the citation does not relieve you of the consequences for the actual offense, if you are convicted.

Provisional Licensee (under age 18)
There are other rules that apply to persons under 18 years of age. If you are a provisional licensee, your license may be

30 days, upon conviction of a second moving violation occurring within a 12-month period;
90 days, upon conviction of a third moving violation occurring within a 12-month period; and

six months, upon conviction of a fourth moving violation occurring within a 12-month period.
Some examples of moving violations:

passing a stopped school bus;
reckless driving;
hit-and-run;

following too closely;
driving on the wrong side of the road;
illegal passing;
running through a stop sign or red light;
failure to yield right–of–way;
failure to stop for an emergency siren; and
speeding
